Hi Guys, I'm a Pronto, RTI and Marantz programmer from Adelaide in South Australia. I have an A/V troubleshooting and consulting business over here. I've been a Prontoholic for years. I'm looking forward to contributing
I'm Lance Beck, CEO of BitWise Controls. I've been manufacturing automation controls of one kind or another for over 20 years. I've also done several commercial and residential integration projects over the years. I was actually an early member of Remote Central shortly after Daniel started this great web site. In fact, I see that the Pronto TS1000 project I submitted in 1999 is still available here for those with a 12 year old pronto and a 37" standard definition rear projection TV!
I guess I'd be considered a Pro. I'm retried, but a few years back I got involved, on the side, in designing and consulting on audio video stuff, like home theaters. One of my hobbies is hi end audio. Several years back I put together a home theater for myself. A few friends asked for my help. As time rolled along, I found myself getting requests from people I never knew, so a side business began.
I used to do maybe a half dozen systems a years. Now I'm retired and bored, so I have a client who has asked me to do his house remodel with internet, phone and audio video. 6TVs total, including one Pioneer 60" FD141 monitor, 4 Sony XBR9s and one NX700. The Interior Designer expects to have the place in at least one magazine.
I work with contractors and interior designers, if necessary, to put together a full theater experience. Lighting, area design and presentation. I retired from the movie industry, as well as part time for a school system, taking care of Mac computers, so I have an unusual backgound. 50 years ago I was an ATT phone installer, but now I dont do any major installation myself and I try to stay away from the basic low end inexpensive HT stuff. Not into stuff like Crestron, but smaller easier to use non tech. I'd rather have my client buy a box for each room or add some inwall speakers with built in connectors to add a small in room specific system then do all the fancy stuff with big complicated gear. I'd rather have them get up and push a switch with a label on it, then not use it with a complicated remote setup.
I dont know everything, so I do my homework and ask alot of questions. If you want something with good hi end audio or at least better then your basic system, I'm your guy.
Hi All, I've been around these forums mostly as a lurker for years - Im also based in Adelaide, Australia and specialise in programming URC gear and occasionally let myself get talked into fixing joe sixpack owned Harmony's *Shudders*.
I do it mainly as a hobby after hours via word of mouth and usually resort to importing URC gear from the US or UK to avoid being robbed blind by the Aussie importers of URC gear!
